I'm Baaaack (part 2)

...and once again holding court from

my couch and backyard surrounded by books,

tylenol, chocolate treats and

piles of DVDs and video games..

2nd surgery a success so far ! So I put together this

'I am Thankful for' list ----

--Great doctors & staff at Froedert hospital

--a nurse at shiftchange told another 'Jeff's a real peach '

--catheter -removal wasn't as bad as the first time

--obnoxious,yet cheerful, get-well balloons

--snuck-in chocolate malts from Oscar's

--tile customers willing to wait a couple- or a few- months for my recovery

--Loving family & friends --carrying the load & helping out

NEXT ..the batteries go in on friday ! A minor procedure they say...

Another success--Maureen's shower , held at Louise & Jerry's may 31...

THANKS again , you guys !!

And lastly ...a fun time at Sister Jamie & Dale's BIG tent celebration of my nephew Nick's

high school graduation .....a Fine lad , he is.........

My family knows how to feed a crowd.......Hell yeah !! But Jamie's hula hoop skills need

a little polishing....

And you single women out there...

my cousin Chuck is one very worthy

and eligible bachelor...
